He had his agenda going in regardless of what happened. Wakanda and T'Challa were going to be fundamentally changed no matter what.

Coates has basically debased the entire BP mythos as well as shat upon the legacy of writers such as Priest, Hudlin, McDuffy, Liss, McGregor's, Lee and Kirby who all brought something special to the mythos.

Enjoying the camraderie of friends and family is all that matters in the world.

Agreed. Give either of those guys the Hickman NA/SWII alley-oop + MCU CW debut + solo movie announcement + years without a solo... and you have a great recipe for success. That those guys both did around 40k+ for year 1 has always been a testament to the potential of the character

Also when I think about how much promotion Coates did for his BP books compared to like Hudlin or even Priest. I mean he promoted his BP run either as much as or more than Geoff Johns promoted REbirth for DC.

Him and Mark Gruenwald did a lot to make the Marvel universe seem cohesive. I'm not sure it's even possible these days with Marvel's publishing model.

I agree, I don't think Marvel could do it with the current heads in charge. And to be fair, DC is the same. There has to be someone there who is committed and willing and has the power to be the gatekeeper.

I believe the primary function of editors nowadays is to complain about fans...

Because they expect fans to accept CRAP and for many books, recent events and some ongoing events that will not get named-they are proved right. Folks cry and still toss out money as long as it's nonPOC in the leads.

What worked for (blank) franchise doesn't cut it around here. Because many here are concerned about what is getting put out.

It's not all about sales but what is being put in that book. Because you don't know whose first experience with BP will be. It can be Priest's run or this run.

Also editors have to look at this as not complaints from folks who NEVER read the books like Moon Girl and any books with Duke Thomas KEEP getting.

We have all read the book and are being NICE about our comments. Imagine Coates doing this to the X-Men. Especially during that cloud & Inhumans mess. You though you saw some mad X-Men fans.

They are NOT going to be civil.

We are not complaining to complain. We are warning Marvel that you have to make sure Coates RESPECTS what has come before and work out a way to make it work-even at the expense of his agenda.

Because like it or not you can give him credit for promoting the book on his own. However another guy did that same self promotion and deconstructed that franchise. Funny what he did mirrors what Coates is doing. However he only got 6 issues.

There is also an appearance he made on Seth myers show but talkking about the comic when it was 1st coming out. I mean the 1st time I ws actually aware tht he was writing BP was from an NPR interview.

What's Interesting is in the YouTube video he says T'Challa is basically a nerds dream character, and he is African and that's radical.... So his First thought is to completely shit all over the mythos, breaking down T'Challa to show him as a failure who Looks to dictators for help, mopes While his country needs him, and needs the help of a ton of cast members to do anything? And really they do all the work in Truth?.. What a hack
